I think you hit on a point with git and sql I made in a different context. Removing friction from the context and flow. For what git and sql do, they arguably have the most efficie…

I think of "invisibility" as a way of removing unnecessary friction and the author doesn't quite drive home that point effectively. Good invisibility is like well designed roads. S…

What’s interesting to me is that the conversational nature of the LLM tends to lead folks down an unproductive convo path. “Don’t do X” is just as useful as telling an infant not t…

I had a very similar reaction. I went the same way with simply bumping up my bash skills. Part of me feels like I'd prefer pry loaded with a library that provides shell like method…

The trick with the vo2 max measurement on the apple watch though is that the person can not waste any time during their outdoor walk and needs to maintain a brisk pace. Then there'…

When considering NAC's mechanisms, it seems that it's efficacy is likely dependent on an individuals's glutathione status. I doubt that folks with a solid diet, high in sulfur woul…

While I can't speak to whether there are enzymes for the proper copy/paste I do have a set of random cancer related bits I've picked up over the years. There are some basic, well-k…

I generally agree. It's all interconnected, and we could point to a singular cause, but to treat them all as one and of the same class of disease seems reductive and not useful. Th…

While the area under the curve for glp1 administration may be the same, good chance that the story is informing us of a mechanism such as the absorption rate between two different …

There were no recommendations. Usually this type of anecdata becomes the basis of legitimate, controlled studies and over time can inform and/or adjust. It would be premature to si…

An interesting FYI is a comment made by Peter Attia on his podcast. He had a patient with metabolic markers that were not improving and they had exhausted all the typical avenues. …

I've noticed similar satiation with psyllium as well. I do a 32hr fast once a week and will consume a scoop of psyllium when I get hungry and it's quite filling for 2-3 hours befor…

As an East Asian, not really trying to argue that China hasn’t accomplished great things. While I can’t speak directly to this, but from watching The China Show on YouTube, the tra…

It’s likely not a willpower issue as much as the fact that we tend to make choices according to the path of least resistance. Seems to help to create systems that let us fall to th…

Pretty sure it’s the Israeli’s massacring Palestinians. Just in case you didn’t know. ;)

This rhetoric of “terrorists” is getting quite tiresome. The world has been watching for over 2 years the atrocities occurring in Gaza and Israel and its people have has lost its c…

I think this should be a moment of reflection that the world is waking up to the atrocities of Israel, and not a time to complain about censorship.

I don't really see much debate. The top comments and votes are pretty clearly pro-human.

My recent thoughts on why the US is complicit is that Israel is America's "bad cop" of the world. The trade is that the US will allow Israel to act with impunity in the region as l…

The "nuanced" rhetoric to add doubt that things may not seem like what they are, is tiresome at this point. neepi's comments seem reasonable, innocent until proven guilty, but it's…

This article isn't really about whether there's some situation where there were some wrong doings, but it's yet another piece adding to the overall body of Israel's offenses agains…

For the cost and simplicity, NextDNS is way easier IMO. Nice quality of life apps that install on your phone and computer to toggle it on/off while on-the-go, while also being able…

Their view of the attendant as a cog in the machine appears to be a justification for their "learned helplessness" to situations. They've internalized that certain policies they co…

Interestingly, it was a culture shock when I saw that in other countries (that tend to have a more homogenous ethnic population) informally require photos. Not having a photo on a …

Each one was supplanted by the next gen for "coolness". The next thing after TikTok is going to be whatever gen A/B/C decide are the "cool" platforms. It could be a new 4th or they…
